how tall was jimi hendrix
American Singer/Guitarist. In the biography, 'Room full of Mirrors', the author mentions Jimi "entered the service he weighed 155lbs and was five feet ten tall." and how people mistook him for being taller due to his afro. Jimi had his acme listed on his Passport equally five feet 11 inches.

I've seen two Jimi Hendrix paraqueets in the past two days!
I'd been wondering if they drift but and then why would they? This is the merely dwelling house they know. I can assure you that they're very beautiful and ever make my day.
I got into Jimi'southward music when I was xix, in 1980, but I caused some antique 50s recordings that Jimi made with other eminent singers, given to me by the male parent of Hell's Angels president, Peter (Buttons) Welsh, who was known simply every bit 'Popular'.
Jimi is getting 5ft10.5 from me today, fifty-fifty begetting in listen that he had a huge mop of pilus.
Danimal said on 24/Nov/22
5'xi". Surprised you still accept him listed at 5'11."
Miss Sandy Cowell said on six/Jul/22
I saw three of Jimi's parakeets a couple of days agone.
My Jim told me about them, the fountain of noesis that he is.
He pointed them out to me equally we were approaching Sainsbury's, West Wickham, and since then, they have been often been seen in my garden. I know their noise now - information technology's loftier pitched and very cute!
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 29/Jun/22
Yesterday afternoon, I sat on the doorstep listening to Quadrophenia. I spotted three light-green miniature parrots which, rumour has it, are part of a family unit of these birds that Jimi set free when he played in England, Chistlehurst Caves to mention one location. 2 of my older friends were there.
You could say that it was his ongoing legacy, and a very beautiful 1 at that, autonomously from his music, of course!
5ft10.5. 🦜🦜🦜
Miss Sandy Cowell said on three/Apr/22
⭐️ I tried to find the elevation of Jimi's brother, Leon, himself a musician at present and an artist, only I could not, otherwise I just might have asked for him! The brothers have three sisters as well.
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 3/Apr/22
There was a fantastic documentary on Jimi Hendrix last night immediately subsequently the Roger Waters concert. It contained contributions from his younger blood brother, Leon, and many eminent singers. It was conspicuously made years ago, equally I spotted many late stars, including ane of Jimi'south roadies, Lemmy, Chris Squire from Yeah and Ginger Bakery.
Jimi did vesture Cuban heels, just so, I think they all did back then.
5ft10.5. 🎸🎶
Jack D. Bell said on 9/Feb/22
Hendrix was eighteen and a half years old when he entered the Ground forces...so that would indeed exist his superlative...the coroner merely took a sloppy reading of Hendrix on the slab, in 1970, as existence five'11"....not accurate. The coroner was afterwards stripped of his license, due to alcoholism.
Tall Sam said on 23/January/22
He also looked something nigh five'11" well-nigh Otis Redding in a very poor photo.

Rob, what are the odds of you lot listing him a little higher, if not a full 5'11" perchance somewhere between 5'10" and five'11"?

He certainly can look taller at that place, without knowing the footwear.

Ah yes Jimi Hendrix, his music was amazing It will always bring me dorsum to my teenage years Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin's music was the only stuff I listened to when I was 13-17 I used to think the Jimi was 5' 11" considering his relatively congenital slender he never looked similar a 5' x" guy to me and I honestly recall he was taller I approximate that he was about 5' 10 1/two" maybe fifty-fifty a weak (granted very weak) 5' eleven" R.I.P Jimi Hendrix he was gone way as well soon
Tall Sam said on 1/Aug/21
I agree, I recall Jimi was at least five'ten.v". If I was a betting man, I'd bet he was taller than, for instance, whatever of the Beatles and any of The Rolling Stones excepting perchance Mick Taylor,
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 30/Jul/21
@ Dr Decker - Starting time I plant y'all'd commented on Robert Found's page and now I see you lot've been on Jimi Hendrix's page besides! At just eighteen years of historic period, that's more than than impressive and it's great to encounter youngsters such as yourself getting into what I now consider the cream of classic rock. (Endeavour the groups The Yardbirds, which included Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck, and Cream, which included Eric Clapton and the late drummer, Ginger Baker).
With guys like you around, this music volition exist pop forever!
The great Hendrix gets 5ft10.5.🕯️

@ clamjam and Curvation - Firstly, clamjam, I think you're right there! I used to, certainly at only turned xix, sing along to what I heard, and I'd put information technology right later. I never got round to altering that line though...
To the both of you lot: that same year, I met a guy who knew Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison and possibly even Hendrix himself. He told me that even the most avid heterosexuals, which included Joplin and Morrison, had the odd 'dalliance'! I don't see why that won't take included Hendrix himself, but I've only known/met people who've seen him play and none who've known the great man, who was a very spiritual being, on a personal level.
Thank you guys! XX

No, no, no! The song from yesterday'due south Hunt was 'All Along the Sentry Tower'. They repeated it! 😬
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 24/Nov/20
There was a question on the Chase as to who had a hitting with 'Purple Haze'? The young lady contestant didn't know, but I think Brad would have given me Jimi Hendrix; the actual answer was The Jimi Hendrix Experience. I got heavily into Hendrix 9-and-a-one-half years afterward he died. Two of my friends saw him play live, the lucky sods, and many of my acquaintances.
5ft10.5 🎶🎸🎵🎧🎼😋👍
Tall Sam said on 16/Nov/20
When he entered the Air Forcefulness, I believe Jimi would've been about 18 years one-time. I think he could've had some more growing to do. I could see Jimi really measuring in the five'10.5"-v'11" range even given that his afro and generous boots were boasting him higher. I legit think that he might've had some peak perchance even up to an inch over the non Ringo Beatles, Jagger, Bowie, Clapton and then on.
Curvation Stanton said on 16/Nov/20
If I could get back in a time machine, first port of phone call would exist 1969 London and jamming with Jimi! 1 of the biggest auras I've ever got from whatever ane human through his music. Nah Hendrix to me seemed very much a ladies human being, he loved women, just beingness the sixties no doubtfulness he dabbled from fourth dimension to time! Could pass for 6 ft.
clamjam said on thirteen/Mar/20
@Miss Sandy Cowell
Non to be rude, but yous take that backwards. The line is 'alibi me while i kiss this sky', and is commonly misunderstood as 'alibi me while i kiss this guy'.
I'm not doubting that Hendrix might have had some bisexual tendencies, which are common & were indulged in the 60s where tabboos were being challenged... None-the-less, the lyric is all the same 'excuse me while i buss the sky'. haha
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 12/Feb/20
At that place was a Jimi Hendrix question on 'The Chase' yesterday, and Paul Sinha got it wrong!
It was 'Which track of Jimi'due south includes the often misunderstood line, "'scuse me while I kiss this guy..."?'
Information technology was, of course, 'Regal Brume'. Yes, I too take misunderstood the line thinking for all these years that it was, "'scuse me while I osculation the sky'! However, I recognized it and got it right.
Judging from the photograph with Mick Jagger, I am giving Mr Hendrix 5ft11.
🎶🎸🎧😄👍
Dion Wright said on x/Feb/20
A picture of Jimi continuing next to Mick Jagger, who is v'ten (178cm)
Click Here
Hendrix conspicuously has 1cm on Mick, just non more. I see Jimi standing 5'ten.5, or 179.5cm.
Another photo of Hendrix with Buddy Miles, who stood ane.74cm. Jimi conspicuously has 3cm on Buddy, so 177-178 is most right.
Click Hither
Jimi ofttimes wore ane" heels. Removing some other inch from his summit may put him effectually 5'ix 1/ii.
Keep in listen height fluctuates throughout the solar day and tin can go up or down by as much every bit one" or more, and so these are approximate guesses.
Aldebaran said on four/Feb/xx
Await a weak five'11.

Solid 5'x" and quite alpine for those years. Nowadays average i remember

@ Jean Moore - That's a very interesting story!
Jean Moore said on 13/Nov/19
I walked past him, backstage, at a long ago concert. I am 5'ix" and I was looking down on him. I recall thinking he was about five human foot six. On stage he was larger than life though.
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 17/Sep/nineteen
I never expected to exist coming to Jimi'south folio equally the effect of watching an episode of 'American Horror Story' ('Asylum' episode 12, named 'Continuum'), but I am!
The brilliant makers of this series take everything down to a art, and even chose to play 'All Along The Watchtower' in an episode which has jumped four years from the basic storyline, based in 1964. Appropriately, as Hendrix fans will exist well aware, the song begins 'There must be some kind of way out of here...'
This Season of AHS is most the sick goings-on in a mental asylum, with more than a little supernatural horror thrown in. Who wouldn't want to find some kind of way out of a 💩 hole like that? Furthermore, the vocal WAS released in 1968 likewise! How's that for a bit of well thought-out research?
I got heavily into the music of Jimi Hendrix in 1980, some ix-and-a-half years later his death. In 1982, I met a man who claimed to have seen him in concert. He told me he was 21, like me. What a prevarication! How could he have been 9 when he saw him and have had stirrings in his underpants every bit a result of the excellence of the (Jimi Hendrix!) experience? The guy lied about his superlative too by a couple of inches, but what would you expect? He was 32 if he was a 24-hour interval and about equally rotund as they come!
As for Jimi's height, I ever thought he was a stiff half dozen-footer, despite the hair, but I shall requite him 5ft10.5.
✴️ Jimi died 49 years ago tomorrow - 18th September, 1970, which was to be my German Grandmother's final Birthday.
Angel Messtanoffski said on 18/Apr/19
Jimi Hendrix's actual height was vi feet tall. His afro was ii feet tall! LOL

5'11" is my judge.
howhiami said on i/Aug/eighteen
That has really surprised me. i always idea he was around six feet 2,peradventure even a bit taller. I'thousand shocked.
Tall Sam said on twenty/Jul/eighteen
Rob, is at that place a chance he could've been between 5'x" and 5'11" range? He could've looked a little high when straightened up for a flat v'ten" IMO even considering the afro.
Editor Rob
Ever a risk of strong 5ft 10 range.
Sandy Cowell said on 21/Jun/18
If but I could notice out the elevation of vocaliser and guitarist Randy California, whose proper name was inverse from Wolfe to California by Jimi himself when they met up when Randy was simply 15 in 1966...
They played together and presently afterwards Randy played guitar and sang in his own group 'Spirit'! I take been listening to their anthology 'Potatoland', which I have been after for ages and finally institute a copy on eBay, which came from a German fan. Information technology sounds at to the lowest degree as adept as information technology did when I was in my twenties!
If I tin find out the heights of other people he played with and compare them to Randy, one ideal example being the 5ft10+ Hendrix, possibly I might become some idea! Until then, I will enjoy listening to his (RC's) beautiful and meaningful music! Not to mention that of Jimi Hendrix!
I will give Jimi 5ft10.5!
Sandy Cowell said on 2/October/17
@ Steven Schroeder:
Hello Steven! Did your Dad actually see Jimi and then? 🎸

Rob, would people with big afros measure a fleck taller on a stadiometer than if they had less pilus/baldheaded? I believe that having huge book of hair prevents the headpiece from compressing the hair all the way to the tip of your skull.
Editor Rob
some dense hairstyles might add a mm or 2, just you really need something like braids on elevation of your head to make whatsoever difference.
Sandy Cowell said on 16/Dec/xvi
I would have believed Jimi to be 6ft, simply I practise realise that his shock of Afro hair gave him a taller appearance!
I got into his music virtually 10 years after he died. I was given some albums from the 50's which Hendrix recorded with other artists and I didn't appreciate them as they weren't exactly what I was used to from him and I gave them abroad! They'd exist worth a tidy sum now!
Manoverthere said on thirteen/Oct/16
Definitely 5'10"
dufusrufus said on fourteen/May/xvi
Hendrix is just an idea at present....but he's listed at 5'11" almost vi foot officially... makes sense he looks long and has a huge wingspan in many photos....he was as well a late bloomer...
White Strat said on 4/Aug/fifteen
5ft10 is shut. Jimi'due south army medical reports reported him equally both 70 inches and 69.5 inches tall. Therefore anywhere between 176cm to 178cm. Jimi was slightly over today's average height. Dorsum in the 1960s this may (or may not?) have been considered tall, or at to the lowest degree tall-ish.
Calis said on 17/Jul/15
No manner Jimi was 5'11" or fifty-fifty v'10". I remember seeing some of his jackets at the museum in Seattle. I was shocked when I saw how small they were. I always had the impression that he was tall, but when I saw the clothes and how short the arm lengths were I thought for a 2d I was looking at Prince'southward clothes. There's no fashion the arms of a guy 5'11" got this jacket on.
After seeing this I began looking at a lot of photos. I noticed that the size of a Fender Stratocaster confronting his torso was larger than information technology should have been if he were and so tall. Photos tin can be deceiving because his hands were so big.
B-ran said on 8/May/xv
A solid 5'10 looks nigh correct. A passport is worth little as evidence. I'thou sure he penned in his own superlative.

No manner Jim was he "pretty small". The worst you could call him is average. Always gave a tallish impression to me.
Sam said on two/December/14
Hmm, at times I thought he could look more five'ten" only I'g not quite buying equally low as 5'7". He looked pretty solid near the v'xi" mark in that photograph with the Who.
Jim said on 2/Dec/fourteen
You guys are overestimating his top. Jimi was no taller than five'8", and might have even been 5'seven". He was a pocket-sized guy, simply he was so skinny that information technology made him appear closer to 5'10 or 5'11.
I'll never forget existence at the Hard Rock Hotel in Orlando and seeing an outfit that he had worn in concert that they had framed there at the hotel, and I couldn't believe how tiny information technology was. I thought. "No way Jimi was this small." Then I did some research and started to really look at pictures, especially with him continuing adjacent to girls, and you can come across he was a pretty small guy.
Simply, as a musician, he was a Giant and a legend. Long alive Jimi!
lazur said on 26/Jun/14
Watch Jimi's entrance on the Dick Cavette prove. Cavette's 5' half dozen 1/ii", and Jimi isn't all that much taller.
Jim D. said on 14/Dec/xiii
I'k gonna say 5'11, he was too rather thin thus making him look much taller.
Sam said on 11/Dec/13
He tin expect around 5'eleven" at times...the other guys in The Experience were for sure under boilerplate. Here with the Who, he looks shut to the 5'11" range:

Anglofred said on 21/Jun/13
Hendrix wasn't a giant, except musically.
I've used a pair of dividers to scale a apartment-on photograph of Hendrix against the total length of a cheap re-create of a Fender Stratocaster that I own. I make him but under five feet 11 inches. It's a niggling catchy because of the stack heels and the afro, merely if I apply the mentum-to-eyes distance and employ that as the 'center to crown' distance he comes in at just under 5 ft eleven in physically, and a million miles musically. Particularly in 67-68 when he was in his pomp.
Shaun said on 3/Oct/12
5 ft ten barefoot add together the heeled boots he ofttimes wore, long shawl/coats and the afro he could give the impression of being near half-dozen ft 2, certainly gave a tall impression. Probably was nearer 6 ft ane with boots and afro if not flattened downwards anyway!
Shaun said on 3/Oct/12
He looked a skinny five ft 11 to me. I thought he was half-dozen'2-6'three" when I saw him in flares on a Wood stock video. And his hands were huge so gave the impression of a bigger guy.
Tony said on 7/Aug/12
To melpa: No in the biography room total of mirrors they said v'10'' merely he could look 6'0'' due to his afro, read the description. I also believe that he wore high heels on his boots, like any other rockstar in the sixties or seventies, that could add almost 2,v'' to his elevation.
Shaun said on 23/Aug/11
Looked 5'eleven" range to me.
Jneva Andrews nakama said on v/Jul/xi
In 1969 when I laid on his while he signed an autograph for me....he seemed shorter than 5'11 . I also stood next to him and his entourage merely the histeria could have played a part in my miscalculation of his pinnacle. I treasure his personal shorthand and the memory of the moment til this twenty-four hour period !!!
melpa said on 26/Mar/eleven
believe information technology or not his dad was v'2 and mum v'1, i read his biography and information technology says in there that he was v'11.
Doug said on 19/Mar/09
I thought Hendrix looked 5'11" minimum to exist honest, perhaps it was his slim build just thats the last thign I care nigh when watching and listening to him. Those flairs he wore made his legs look longer than a typical v'10" to me.
iClarke-93 said on 15/Feb/09
5'10 is spot on , but he could hands pass for 5'11 due to his very lean frame and long legs.
Brad said on three/Feb/09
Must be a George Strait fan. wonder if anybody caught that. Stiff five' 10". Wait at him with Spock. Take off the i.5" boot heel advantage.

Jimi had to be no more than 5'10". Look at the relative size of his Fender Statocaster guitar. You can bet they made him stand upwardly strait to exist measured at U.s. war machine induction.
OwenIrish said on 12/Jan/09
I actually discover information technology hard to believe Jimi was 5'x''. Not doubting the information and it's likely accurate. Quite shocking though. I'thousand a huge Hendrix fan and, being forever self conscious of my own acme, it's nice to know I might only be an inch and a half off Hendrix's height.

I agree with Zakk being hit and miss but as I said I accept dozens of Ozzy/Rhoads recordings and Randy was great every night. Zakk's playing was much better on the first ii albums he did with Ozzy in my opinion. He'due south gotten repetitive since and so.

Don Arden was a crook. He pocketed millions from NEMS Record import pressings sold directly to wholesalers for cash. You'd see more than Sabbath import budget albums than Warner Bros. albums stocked in stores. Ozzy was oblivious, he was Tony Montana by '78. Morris Levy was THE mafiaso of the bizness. I retrieve DeNiro bought his life for film from his manor. The volume "Stiffed" is my favorite rock book of all time. MCA getting screwed over by the mob.

Sabbath at MSG at the Garden was pretty astonishing yr after year. Most of the crowd had hair down to their ass and jean jackets torn upwards and were from Long Island. Geezer is 1971 revisited like a wind-upward toy. Sabbath was freaking huge in 1972, equally big as Zep/Deep Purple. CBS and Ozzy didn't go along. CBS didn't front end much loot to Ozzy for tours/filming as they should have. Ozzy'due south future father-in-law was a rock thief in London. Randy would take quit Ozzy by the mid fourscore's every bit Ozzy was walking around in a shock at too many shows. Randy was a terrific player. Zakk is striking & miss. I found all my Due north.A.K.One thousand. convention autographed photos from around '90 and every player looked the same. Present everybody has dissimilar hairdoos. Funny stuff. Of course Slash stays Slash and will always be Slash.
glenn said on ii/Jan/09
i go along missing cocker and ricky when they are around.saw sabbath with ozzy once only in 1998.almost amazing evidence,and sound.geezer was the all-time player i ever saw live.ozzy was awful.
RisingForce said on 2/January/09
Yeah Ozzy may have been hit and miss just I'd kill to take a full professionally filmed concert from 1981 with Randy Rhoads.
I have dozens of audio bootlegs from that tour including the unedited concerts used to make the Tribute album merely zip would compare to a good quality video concert from then.
I saw Zakk and Ozzy at MSG a year agone and Zakk was wasted that night. He was sloppy and missing notes but I've too seen him play well alive. His soloing gets excessive at times, Randy was a lot more than tasteful and as well a improve technical actor than Zakk. Nothing against Zakk but no i Ozzy'south had since was as good as Randy.
Brad said on two/Jan/09
I was at that show and the audio stunk. I think Sabbath'southward sound arrangement stayed with Tony & Geezer and Ozzy got what CBS supplied him for the tour. I'm sure there are shows in the Sony vaults. Problem was Ozzy was hitting & miss depending on his whiskey intake. I saw Zakk and Ozzy plastered in one case onstage. Information technology was a working train wreck. Joe Cocker and Ricki Lee Jones were the most wasted performers I've seen. Vince Neil solo was up at that place.
glenn said on 1/Jan/09
the tourists were great.20/20 were too.dont think i know the others.aye,its a shame how so much great history was filmed just never released.hence bootlegs.never listen when cameras were not around.the shelved material is unreal.

Thanks Glenn. Hopefully I'll be back in NYC by that time. I've been on Long Island since the fall for work and I hate information technology here. Plus, information technology'd be much easier to meet him if he came to town and I was back in NYC. I'll be interested to observe out what that rare item is. Meeting Kurt would also possibly assistance figure out how tall Mel Gibson is.
Speaking of the Palladium, I have about four or v songs of Ozzy and Randy Rhoads alive from then. Information technology'south a shame the quality is and so bad. All that's out at that place is some poor quality footage and the After Hours footage from 1981 which was not the band at it's best. Randy Rhoads mother told me that at that place'due south no professionally filmed footage bated from that, that she's aware of.
Brad said on ane/Jan/09
CBS had a showcase in 'eighty down at the Palladium in NYC. There were so many skinny necktie bands. 20/20 was the best and some band with Thomas Dolby were okay. I think The Tourists with Eurythmics members were on it. Lauper again. CBS signed lots of bands. Peter Noone's skinny tie band The Tremblers were great. Paisley motility bands were okay in '86. The 3 O'Clock were peachy. I got Kurt Russell'due south record album from 1970 but he'southward never done a celeb prove in L.A..

im sure attila is horrible.dont retrieve information technology.simply a absurd oddity to take.the knack are cracking and i give love to all new wave bands,ties included.surprisingly never saw setzer in my life.share s the same birthday as me.doesnt come to new york often.
Brad said on 30/Dec/08
Attila is a horrible album. Joel married the other Attila guy's wife then I think the wife managed Joel and stole millions. Madonna dated everybody back then. Played a swell rhythm guitar. Joan Jett was in your face potent onstage in '81, so was Madonna '82. Jett was married in 'fourscore but kept it a secret. You lot can tell who is going to make it in the first 2 songs of a set. I recall asking Brian Setzer how come no U.S. characterization has picked yous guys upwardly, yer gonna be huge. He had no existent respond. A&R people just follow current charts & style. All those skinny necktie bands in '80 made me ill, except The Knack, they were keen, notwithstanding are.
RisingForce said on 30/Dec/08
Thanks Glenn, I forgot that when I had showtime sent you the cd's that I still posted on this site under Anonymous.
Thanks about Kurt, information technology'd exist keen to go my DVD's of The Matter and Escape From New York signed. The Thing was the first sci-fi/horror moving-picture show I remember seeing. Prior to getting my DVD copy earlier this year I hadn't seen it in virtually 15 years merely it'southward one of my all fourth dimension favorite movies.
Blackjack were practiced, it'south a shame Michael Bolton didn't go along in the hard rock genre, i idea he had a really skilful voice for that style. I think he stayed in the genre until well-nigh 1985/1986.
glenn said on 29/December/08
i didnt realise that was you risingforce.why didnt you mention that in the emails? you lot mustve thought i knew.deplorable about that.when i hear of kurt russell being effectually ill permit you know.i need to meet him besides.
RisingForce said on 29/December/08
I sent the Jake/Rough Cutt demos Glenn. Along with them were some Ratt/Badlands/Wicked Alliance/solo demos simply the Rough Cutt stuff was the best I thought.
It'd be nifty if you ask Vinny about the rehearsals with Jake.
Brad said on 29/Dec/08
Video stinks of Ratt in Colombia. The Sistah was THE biggest band around NYC '76-'82. The Good Rats '79 were great. Both brothers (I recollect Peppi was garbage man by twenty-four hour period) and Joe Franco fabricated it a great grouping. Blackjack with Michael Bolton & Bruce Kulick was a adept ring, I'd meet them in Ct.. Joan Jett played some really dinky bars in '81, she was but crawly. I'd bring LP's to become signed by her managing director (Kenny Laguna) equally he was in bubblegum bands in the lx's. Madonna early on '82 was the all-time unsigned artist I've always seen, Go Get'south next, Devious Cats third. All played the same dumps below 23rd Street. I wanna go dorsum to 1982 NOW!
glenn said on 28/Dec/08
i forgot virtually dee from the quiet riot days.good signal.i run into vinny appice alot recently.i should ask him about the jake stuff.i have the crude cutt/jake demos thanks to someone on this site.
RisingForce said on 28/Dec/08
I call up Hurricane. They had one of Dio's guitarists, Doug Aldrich.
Rough Cutt'due south vocalizer was/is great. The demos he did with Jake East. Lee when Jake was withal in Rough Cutt were really good. Vinny Appice told me he has Dio rehearsals on record from when Jake was briefly. I have to hear that.
And you're right about Randy to some extent Glenn. He didn't starting time taking private classical guitar lessons until his Ozzy days only he had learned some classical guitar throughout his youth. In fact "Dee" was from the Quiet Riot days, Randy used to play that every dark live as function of his solo spot.
glenn said on 28/December/08
oh,i saw good rats play this past jump.
glenn said on 28/Dec/08
hows the quality of the video on carlos/ratt? i know plenty of video guys that can get me a copy.wow,thats impressive you saw twisted when they were the biggest new york band.not then much elsewhere.rare history.dee is like their 3rd singer.i saw hurricane open up for stryper in radio city 1988.singer is in foreigner for 3 years now.quiet riot needs their 1989 singer,ex rough cutt.
Brad said on 28/Dec/08
I saw some Carlos-Warren Ratt in Republic of colombia video from 2 months ago and it looks like Warren is burying Carlos on the leads. I don't think it'll last. Go Tranquility Riot back with a kick ass vocalizer. I call back Jake's ex girlfriend sold all of Jake'southward stuff like Ozzy unreleased reels etc. a number of years ago at an L.A. swap meet. Yeah, he's like toast. I liked Hurricane with Carlos' brother. I saw Twisted Sistah (NY accent) in clubs '77-'81 around NYC similar The Rising Sun in Yonkers and Detroit in Portchester. They kicked ass. I saw them blow away Aerosmith at the Nassau Coliseum. Aerosmith wouldn't get on cause the crowd was screaming Sistah Sistah for an 60 minutes afterwards their set up in '81. Practiced Rats were groovy, Joe Franco on drums. Zebra was a skillful band. Rat Race Choir. Plimsouls out of L.A. were awesome, notwithstanding are.
glenn said on 27/Dec/08
i didn't know near the enuff project.one jake rumor is true.i dont think randy was studying classical during the riot days.
RisingForce said on 27/Dec/08
Cheers Glenn. I agree that his paying in Quiet Riot wasn't as good. Carlos Cavazo said the same thing, he said Randy wasn't maximizing his talent. Cavazo idea Randy was btter in Ozzy'southward band because he could explore some darker sounding stuff and he could do some more technically challenging things. I agree with Carlos 100%.
I honestly thought Cavazo was a better fit for Quiet Anarchism fifty-fifty though I consider Randy to be the better player.
I've heard a lot of the rumors most Jake as well but who knows what'southward truthful and what's non. Regardless of what is true, he's still a phenomenal player and 1 of my all time favorites. I did hear that embrace album he did Retraced and the solo album he put out in the mid 90's. Impressive simply non plenty. I heard he had recorded an album with Enuff Z'Nuff a while back and that he may be touring with them but I oasis't heard anything else. There was as well a rumor about Jake forming a band with a few other well known musicians early this year only I haven't heard annihilation since.
glenn said on 25/Dec/08
nice guitar.it wouldve been interesting to come across how far he can take it.but the quiet riot albums with randy wernt that impressive.at least not randys playing.jake put out a solos covers cd 3 years ago.now closer to iv.a friend of mine was hanging with him at year one/two ago or so.might even have his #.lots of bad rumors going around with jake.nothing i desire to become into here.
RisingForce said on 25/December/08
I love Ratt too but my favorite of the "pilus metal" bands is Dokken. At start I got into them mostly because of George Lynch'due south guitar playing only everyone in the band is groovy. All of them are expert singers except George.
I accept an quondam concert from 1982 that was aired on German language Tv with Juan Croucier(sp?) on bass, Don playing guitar(some leads actually) and George actually singing backround. Well lets but say that the fact that George didn't sing post 1983 was addition by subtraction. Jeff Pilson's vocals actually helped too.
Brad said on 25/Dec/08
Freaking Ratt is not bad. Blotz is dull but Warren kicks it. No Pearcy: no Ratt. Dig it: Ratt on the Dusk Strip again....human, dorsum in '83-'87 they were in the big places, now you tin dig em back in clubs even on abode turf sorta like Cheap Play a joke on at House Of Blues places. Randy used to play scales betwixt songs with Ozzy, classical Segovia stuff as well....then it would be back to wasted Ozzy goin "F yep, hither's some F'north 1971 Sabbath". Yeah, he was handcuffed with Ozzy simply the pay was nifty.
glenn said on 24/Dec/08
5-nine is pretty accurate for tommy.i met him when he was barefoot.that and afro threw me off.he is mentioned at 5-10.carlos is underated.i love ratt.
RisingForce said on 24/Dec/08
I don't think Zakk has lost any height. He'due south only 41 and I met him simply 4 years ago. Jake is really reclusive I use to post on the Jake E. Lee forums dorsum in nigh 2001, 2002 and none of fifty-fifty the die hard Jake fans had heard anything about him since the Wicked Alliance days.
I'd love to see Ratt now with Warren and Carlos. I always liked his playing on Metal Wellness and Status Critical. It was always perfect for the song. He should fill Robben Crosby's part well. Warren is a dandy player as well. He was really Jake E. Lee's roomate in San Diego in the early on lxxx's. Jake helped his playing a lot, specifically vibrato and rythym playing. I have an old Guitar For The Practicing Musician magazine from the Ultimate Sin/Dancing Hush-hush era where they interview Jake and Warren at the same time.
Randy is my all time favorite player. He was supposedly thinking well-nigh leaving Ozzy'due south band non long before he died and according to Bob Daisley, Ozzy punched him after Randy said he was thinking most leaving. I wish he had been effectually long plenty to do another Ozzy album or two as well as his ain project. I wanted to hear him expand on the neo-classical ideas explored in Revelation, Diary Of A Madman and Mr. Crowley. Unfortunately in that location was only so much room for that in Ozzy's music. An instrumental album from Randy would take been incredible.
Karl Sandoval who built Randy's Polka Dot V built me an exact replica.
Here's a film
Click Here
It plays and sounds incredible. An exact replica downwards to the bent plate tremelo and the thick neck. The fretboard is usually a lot cleaner than in the flick though.
RisingForce said on 23/Dec/08
Yeah, Zakk towered over me. There was a big crowd around him also and he stuck out in the oversupply as actually alpine. I'd say he'southward half dozen-2 but he looked even bigger in two inch motorbike boots. In my movie he looks 7-8 inches taller than me(factoring in how much he'due south leaning) and I'yard almost 5-8. His boots only gave maybe a .75 advantage too because I was wearing thick Nike sneakers which give over ane.25.
Those all sound right Brad. Randy'southward heels fabricated him hard but he was 5-7 and could look taller than Rudy at times in those heels like in this picture.
Click Hither
Tommy Aldridge has massive heels too and he's still shorter than Ozzy. Aldridge must have been perchance 5-8.5. Ozzy was 5-ten every bit yous said and his posture gave illusions that he was shorter.
I always thought Jake was the five-nine he claimed only I guess I'thousand wrong since everyone who has met him says 5-vii, 5-8...and he always wore boots. I take to run across Jake once and go my Ultimate Ozzy VHS signed in one case. For years that was my favorite official concert video.
Austrian said on 17/Dec/08
yea i would have thought he was taller too ...but not by much, i idea he was exactly 180
glenn said on 8/December/08
i read a 5-x merits for sarzo.obviously wrong.i always idea zakk was 6ft.met him many times from 1988-1994.he knew me and then.but if brad and you saw 6-2,then its a practiced risk im wrong.
Brad said on viii/December/08
Saw Randy upward close at the Palladium in NYC: v' seven" (weak) big 70's type heels on top, Jake E. Lee N.A.Chiliad.M. bear witness: same peak, Zakk 6' ii" easy. Ozzy 5' x" xx years agone in person, Sarzo 5' eight". Hendrix: strong 5' ten". Await at him at Woodstock, he's cipher nether.
RisingForce said on 7/Dec/08
In the Tribute cd booklet there'south a strange picture of Ozzy and Rhoads both in heeled shoes where Randy looks only an inch or an inch and a half shorter.
I agree with all of that
v-7 for Randy
five-9, five-10 for Hendrix
5-viii, 5-9 for Dimebag
Sarzo actually has claimed both 5-7 and 5-8 in magazines too. You've actually said that Jake East. Lee is 5-7, 5-8 too correct? He claims 5-nine but I'chiliad certain you'd be expressionless on accurate judging guys in the five-7, 5-8 range. If I'grand not mistaken you said he looked your height but he had a footwear advantage and was in boots. So more 5-7 than 5-8? I am surprised that Randy and Jake were about the aforementioned height, and so again comparing them to Ozzy and the fact that they both wore heeled shoes it's non surprising.
I've got to encounter Zakk again. I have a picture with him where he just towers over me. He's bending and I like look like a dwarf. He was in motorcycle boots with 2 inch heels and I was in i 1/four Nike shoes and I'm v-7 3/4. Looked either half-dozen-1, 6-2 in person factoring in the boots. He claims 6-2 but I've heard vi-0 a lot for years for Zakk and someone once told me he claimed 6-1 in a magazine. How many times have you met Zakk Glenn?
glenn said on five/December/08
yes,i merely saw a blizzard or diary era film where randy did look 5-seven.hendrix was five-9 or five-10.sarzo is tricky too.claims 5-10.but is v-8 to 5-9.dimebag is mentioned at 5-9 the about.sometimes 5-8.never as low as 5-7.he did look 5-8 in peers pics i saw.5-9 on occasion.vinnie paul is five-8 or 5-9.more on the v-9 though.rex was 5-nine i think.
RisingForce said on iv/December/08
I hold Glenn. Heels make things tricky. Randy Rhoads was tricky for me to figure out because of those 2 inch heels he always wore but I recently saw a smashing angle flick of the whole band in line from tallest to shortest and Randy was in forepart of 5'7", v'viii" Rudy Sarzo looking taller and Sarzo was in ane" sneakers. That's why Randy's v'vii" merits seems correct because Sarzo is atleast five'7", possibly 5'8". Another guy I can't figure out though is Dimebag. I hear 5'ix" for him but I ever thought he looked similar a 5'seven", 5'viii" guy in pictures. half dozen'1", 6'two" Zakk Wylde only towered over him, then once again Zakk e'er wears motorbike boots.
Unfortunately platform shoes make things more than tricky than simple two" heels so Hendrix very hands could have been five'9". The members of Kiss wear platform shoes that make Frankenstein'south boots look normal.
glenn said on 23/Nov/08
did everyone forget the platforms this guy wore?
glenn said on 23/Nov/08
risingforce-plus y'all have to judge him adjacent to the brusque v-6,5-7 experience members too.five-10 tops seemed correct.
Daniel said on 20/Nov/08
One of the tallest-looking v'10'' guys I've ever seen, so. For he never seemed less than 6ft to me.
RisingForce said on xv/Nov/08
I always thought he was most 6 foot for some reason simply in reality the v'9", 5'ten" figures Glenn heard were probably correct around correct.
miles smiles said on 29/Sep/08
I'm a huge Hendrix fan, and I've never seen that photo taken with Nimoy! And he does look almost every bit tall as six-0.five Nimoy. I suppose Jimi could achieve almost six anxiety in his boots, but he really looks more like a 5-xi guy here. Interesting.

Anon, I am pitiful... but you lot kinda can tell that Jimi was a bigger man than Eric (which doesn't mean he was taller)... merely from the motion picture information technology appears that Jimi is continuing one footstep below Eric... in that location's no manner Eric is that much taller (if he is taller) than Jimi...

Picayune one: It eliminates all the variables. Are they wearing tall heeled shoes, do they slouch, how tall exercise they look compared to me and my friends... if any of your friends are with you. Don't you think seeing someone in person helps when judging ones height?
Bearding said on 22/Jul/08
5-10 seems about right - I could easily see that. He could look taller, fifty-fifty in 6ft. range, but that'south partly because of his lanky frame, tight wearing apparel, kicking heels and towering hair. Either fashion, what a great legacy - truly a 'giant' amongst men!
miles smiles said on fourteen/Jul/08
In the newest reissue of the greatest Hendrix bio of all fourth dimension, Voodoo Chile, author David Henderson states that Hendrix was a lean v-ten, and could appear near elfin until he took the stage, where he instantly became a towering, godlike figure. Amen.
Anon said on 2/Jul/08
In full general height is very inconsistent. For case meridian varies by up to an inch or so,depending on how much pressure is exerted on your spine during the day. Other factors may include even balmy spinal issues,one-time age,and of course the footwear someone is wearing. I retrieve 5ft10 for Jimi is reasonable,however just shy of 5ft10 or 5ft9.75 seems more accurate every bit a bassline top for him.

My grandad was 5'10'' in the 60's. He looked taller than all his friends in sports team photos, and then I'm guessing 5'x'' was tall in the UK in the lx's.

hendrix was a staple of greenwich village new york city.ive been hanging out there for 25 years.hung out at the clubs he played in,and hung out in his studio,the legendary electric ladyland,many times.and im personal friends or know people that played with him,knew him,saw him play live,recorded him,and or merely plain asked him for an autograph.they all said he was around my size,5-ix or 5-10.those are the 3 answers i get.
DandyRandy said on 12/May/08
I really think you lot should accept the time to read entire posts BTW, cause I also said this.
"I'd guess he'south probably betwixt 5ft 9in to 5ft 11in."
DandyRandy said on 12/May/08
What'due south with the attitude, man. I'thou non trying to say this site is wrong or right. I'd say his peak is indeterminate.
Once once more "never have annihilation you hear/read... NO Matter THE SOURCE... to be the complete, and definitive truth, unless y'all happen to witness it with your own eyes." I don't intendance if Glenn is his cousin. I'll believe it when I run into it. And since the man is expressionless, I'll get out it as something I will never know the truth near. But feel costless to "regurgitate" everything Glenn says BTW.
Who are these friends, and peers Glenn? I'k not questioning you or annihilation, I'd just really like to know your source.
Anonymous said on 12/May/08
thanks Dad, I'll proceed that in mind. If you followed this page, you'd notice that Glenn has said probably x times that he has friends who met him many many times and said he was five'9ish. Sounds like the guy in the Army wasn't too far off huh buddy?
DandyRandy said on 11/May/08
Mayhap you should re-read what I said eh?
Believe what you lot want, homo. I don't care. Like I said earlier... "never take anything you hear/read... NO Affair THE SOURCE... to exist the consummate, and definitive truth" This would include the link I posted equally well. BTW The person who checks the tiptop in the ground forces does like, how many people a day? You lot don't think that they make mistakes every once in a while?
I don't know his height. I'thou not arguing that he'south taller or shorter than whats listed hither. I'd guess he's probably between 5ft 9in to 5ft 11in. Don't believe everything you hear/read, otherwise nosotros'll become a nation of "information regurgitators."
Bearding said on eleven/May/08
Then the military height listing could exist incorrect merely "his" myspace page could be right? give me a break.

Some food for thought... Hendrix's myspace page has him listed at 187cm. I retrieve this is a little high though.

Yes, I would have sworn that too, miles, just I accept to believe what it's been said here, cause the same happened with most rock musicians I thought were taller.
miles smiles said on 1/May/08
It blows my mind that Jimi was most the aforementioned meridian as Rob Lowe, or barely taller than Robert Downey Jr. When you spotter Woodstock, the Band of Gypsies concerts, Isle of Wight, Live in Berkeley, Rainbow Span, etc....you would swear you're looking at a 6 footer, at least.
glenn said on 30/Apr/08
scarlet is 6ft.their heights our on the back of the second album.i just recently bumped into vince again.and then youll see the pic soon.does look alot shorter that 5-6.i think.i have to look at information technology again.simply he was 5-vi in 1990.
Daniel said on 30/Apr/08
Thank you Glenn, I idea he was even shorter, crusade he looked and so. The other VF members towered him, they all should have been v'eleven''+.
Bearding said on xxx/Apr/08
Jimi was thin and long limbed and with his pilus this made him await virtually 6'6'' I guess. But he wasn't a large human physically although he had enormous presence.
glenn said on 29/Apr/08
i knew vince.he is listed at 5-6 in the former days.he is virtually 5-5 at present.when i first met him 20 years ago 5-vi seemed about right.
Daniel said on 29/Apr/08
Whatsoever clue about guitar player Vince Martell from Vanilla Fudge? He looks very tiny in footage and photograhs, so I'd say 5'3'' or 5'four'', but not sure of that.
glenn said on 29/April/08
his dad was 5-iv when i got him.and ron wood is a legit 5-ten.5.i saw him in converse look that recently,and wait 5-nine the next day in casuals with bad posture.
Anonymous said on 29/April/08
Yeah Miles smiles, his dad was on the short side. I believe I read 5'six.
Schnouzer Jiff said on 29/April/08
i'm with glenn that he was in the five-9 range. dead giveaway is looking at his guitar in proportion to his body/top; in relation to that he doesn't appear to a higher place avg. height. i'd peg him right effectually Ronnie woods's heighth (5-9ish) remember he wore boot'southward a lot so figure that when y'all encounter him side by side to Townshend (6 ft.), etc. and he appers taller, he'south really not.
Davey said on 29/Apr/08
When you remember virtually it alot of guys who are five`10 tin pass for 5`11 to 6 foot with normal pes wear.
glenn said on 29/April/08
lenny kravitz is a perfect comparison.i heard five-nine claims for jimi too.
miles smiles said on 28/Apr/08
From photos and videos, Jimi is the tallest looking 5-10 I've ever seen, but I believe it. Both Noel and Mitch were quite brusque, and Jimi was very sparse, exaggerated by his super thin-cut psychedelic sixties threads. Besides the boots, at that place's the impressive fro factor that gives added height illusion. Jimi's dad, Al, was quite short, so I tin believe the 5-10 listing. If I had to approximate, I would accept idea he was a potent 5-11, though.
Bearding said on 28/April/08
Yeah, exactly. Although to his credit, I never heard of Jimi claiming anything more his 5'10". Does anyone know how the height in the war machine works, I mean when information technology's said that the armed services measured him at 5'x, is that rounded? Could he be 5'nine.5? Or perchance 5'x.75 and they just called it v'10 considering he wasn't quite 5'eleven? I wonder about that with Elvis also.
anonymous said on 28/April/08
so many of the rock stars in the 60's and 70's were slim and wore the high heeled boots that were in way making everyone look long and lean. this leads to a lot of over estimated heights. or at to the lowest degree people giving their heights with the heeled boots on. those heels gave more than height than any of stallones or cruises all-time lifts!
Anonymous said on 28/Apr/08
Glenn is 100% correct. I have the volume where it mentions his height every bit 5'10 quite a few times. There's a quote about his slim build and impossibly wide shoulders, making him announced 6+, but was 5'10. I'll look it up and post it.
ronan said on 28/Apr/08
he was a big sloucher. he looked tall because he was skinny but i heard-read somewhere he was only v-nine. i think lenny kravitz said he wouldnt fit on jimis pants
glenn said on 28/April/08
i met elp.one of the guys i thought was shorter than me.deceit recollect the other 2. average and taller than me.have to dig upward the pics.why do people not realise that jimi wore platform heels alot? if they are fans they should know that.brian jones was also in the 5-5 range.that equals v-x.afterward i just explained i had solid evidence,and he was mentioned at five-10 in a book,people nevertheless insist.
Al said on 28/Apr/08
I believe he'southward 6ft tall. I don't think I've e'er seen a picture of him where he'south not slouching, or hunched. Had he been standing dorsum straight I call up he would have looked a solid 6 anxiety. You're right finn, his hands were gigantic for his top... I swear his hands could fit a person who is half dozen' 7" hands. He also paw pretty long arms for his size. I think he also had Madelung wrist deformity. I call up reasing that somewhere but can't recollect the link anymore.
Daniel said on 27/Apr/08
And Rob, it would be overnice of you to add more than musicians of the 60s and 70s era, like Alvin Lee and all the guys from Ten Years After, Rory Gallagher, Johnny Winter, John Mayall, etc. Also the blues masters like Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf and and so on...
Daniel said on 27/Apr/08
Adept add-on, Rob! I also thought the human was taller, like 6ft, and so I'thousand kind of shocked with the 5'8'' - 5'10'' claims. I in one case saw a photo of Jimi adjacent to Brian Jones and Jimi absolutely towered the stone guy, by like 6 inches. Was he a very high-heeled boots wearer then?
glenn said on 27/Apr/08
oh,so that was a myth that this page was up and taken down.someone mistakenly spread.i was even assertive i saw information technology!
Editor Rob
at that place'southward a few that may have been deleted over 4 years, mainly if I had bug with the server and was recreating the database from a backup, and then some names might get awol. But not Jimi every bit far equally I remember, he'd been asked quite a few times.

At the end of his life, Jimi Hendrix in 1970 was planning on joining ELP. Any idea how tall Emerson, Lake & Palmer. I know Greg Lake said he was a little over half-dozen' though he seems taller.

there was never a Hendrix page, merely he finally got added. Amend late than never, I wanted to come across where the 5ft 10 was, someone mentioned it before just never said which book.

6ft is garbage.my friends and peers met and knew him.non also mention watched him play and jammed with him.they all say around my height or v-ix.ill settle for five-10 which ive read for years.

Virtually sources merits 5'11" but 5'10" is probably more than like it.
